Finally finished. It has been a pretty steady month working on this oil painting of INDIAN PAINTBRUSH 24"x30". At least I think I am finished with it. I'm sure after a few days of observation I will be doing some tune up.It is to be my entry for the Casper Petroleum Club Art Show. It is due for jurying later in February but I wanted to finish it to display in a local show just to show off and maybe get some feedback and comments on by the general public. I actually am doing two different pieces using Indian paintbrush and will decide which one I want to actually submit after I finish the 2nd piece. It is Indian Paintbrush but with rocks and Bluebells to spice up the color. Will post it when finished. May be a few weeks.SOLD

Wow, I love this Indian Paint Brush!!!!! So far I like this simplicity of them being the only colors on the floor of the windrivers, just like your treks.The AZ sky is fabulous, if I may say one thing, we usually don't have that much blue in our sky at sunset, when we do, the blues turn purple or indigo with lots of oranges and pinks! But I sure like both of these!!!

Hello, Gary - enjoyed reading your blog and looking at paintings in progress. Would have loved to meet you last week when I was passing though Dubois on the way to Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. Tom and the rest of the crew at the gallery were great. Your "Prairie Skies" is now home in my pale yellow dining room, reminding me of the beauty of Wyoming. Keep up the good work!

About Me

I am a Wyoming native born into a pioneer ranching family. My educational background is in art and biology which has served me well in the art work I love portraying.
My art reflects my love and interest in the Rocky Mountain west. Its landscapes and its wildlife. I am particularly interested in wild places and in my art I try to portray the light and texture and how those ingredients affect objects in their environment, and in creating a pleasing realistic design that can be incorporated into a painting. I am touched by the awesomeness and simple spirit of nature and consider my work successful when the viewer is equally touched and in turn catches a glimpse of that enduring spirit of wilderness and meaning within themselves.
I thank God for my life and give Him all the praise for all the blessings I have.
